The double expansion of the wavefront deformation in Zernike polynomials over the pupil and the field-of-view coordinates is a powerful tool for lensdesign, testing, and alignment. It provides a compact description of the wavefront deformation of perturbed and unobscued optical systems over the field-of-view. The integral of the mean-square wavefront deformation over the field-of-view is simply the sum of the products of the norms of the polynomials and the squared global coefficients. Eight or ten global coefficients can provide a comprehensive centered system description. Only fourteen main additional global coefficients is sufficient for the description of perturbed and unobscured optical systems.

A pupil engineered with a polarization vortex can have a profound impact on certain classes of optical systems. This paper describes the recent history, ongoing activity, and applications of polarization vortices in optical system design, with special attention to the impact of a vortex filter placed in the pupil of an illumination system. Two systems of particular interest for these types of fields are confocal microscopy, in which a dark field imaging mode is accessible, and immersion lithography, in which azimuthal illumination is favored.

Non-imaging integrators which can be used for laser beam homogenization in materials processing with excimer laser radiation are analysed with regards to geometrical and statistical optics. A model for the transversal degree of coherence of the laser radiation is presented in order to estimate the performance of the integrating devices for the partially coherent excimer laser radiation. This is necessary for a more relevant design of those elements than a design by geometric optical means only. The concept of non-imaging integrators is enhanced by separating the multifaceted element from the focusing lens. This separation provides more flexibility in the processing distance of the optical system. A further enhancement is the combination of such a system with an imaging lens in order to create a system which produces a top hat fluence distribution with variable size for materials processing applications.

These days, nothing lasts very long, and things often change for the better, but there are sure things in our community, such as this annual event, which has been going on for 25 years. The first edition in 2000 of the currentdevelopments in lensdesign and optical Systems engineeringconference took place during International Symposium on optical science and technology, 30 July - 4 August 2000 in San Diego. Over 45 oral presentations and ten posters were presented. The chairs were Robert E. Fischer, Warren J. Smith, R. Barry Johnson, and William H. Swantner. The proceeding was numbered 4093 and 24 years later the number is 12666 (2023). This paper looks back on the great moments of our conference, its speakers, the subjects that have come and gone, and those that have remained.

To analyze ghost effects in optical systems including decentred coatings with thickness variations, polarized light and interactions with object and image planes is a difficult task. Thanks to a battery of tools especially developed in the last ten years and applied to many different situations, it is possible to do such jobs in a quick and elegant manner. As an example, we shall consider optical relay lenses used for photolithography. The object plane is the reticle;The image plane is the wafer.

A number of optical plastic materials are examined. The indices of refraction are measured in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions from 435.8 nm to 1052 mn. Some obtained data and Abbe constants are presented. The glass libraries of the opticaldesign software packages are updated. The spherochromatic aberration balancing is analyzed during the all-plastic doublet and tripler synthesis for a working wavelengths interval from 600 nm to 900 nm. Two achromatic triplets are designed intended for NIR region. Three all-plastic 3X magnifiers are developed for NV goggles. The optical configurations are given. The aberration corrections are evaluated. The obtained optical performance is illustrated. Some conclusions for the trends in all-plastic opticaldesign are drawn.

Several common impediments to successful lensdesign can be removed by application of new techniques. These involve using information that has long been calculated during the design process, but then discarded. Problems so addressed include the nuisance of discovering ray failures in the starting configuration, and that of tolerance desensitization, among others.

A lensdesign having constant working distance while having variable recording depth for micro holographic data storage system has been proposed. Variation of focal length is suppressed for the entire depth within 1% which enables focusing and tracking servoing without changing servo parameters.
